alt Lake City, the capital of Utah, occupies an 
important central position in the territory. It is 
situated at the eastern base of the Wasatch moun- 
tains near a point that projects into Salt Lake valley. 
On the north and east, its extremities are bounded by 
the mountains themselves, which are only a mile or two 
distant. A portion of the city' is even built on the 
mountain "bench" or plateau which is, in reality, one 
of the many water lines that indicate what was once 
the shores of an inland sea. Salt Lake City is laid 
out, principally, in square blocks of ten acres each, 
the streets running at right angles due to the cardinal 
points. Each street is 132 feet wide including the 
sidewalks, which are twenty feet in width. Nearly all 
of them are planted on either side with shade trees; 
and under each long line of foliage a cool and spark- 
ling brook, fresh from mountain glades, ripples with 
merry sound. Nearly every residence has its little 
orchard and flower garden and the area of the city 
is, therefore, large in proportion to the number of 
its inhabitants. It covers a space of about nine square 
miles. The aspect of the city and surroundings, viewed 
from the bench-lands to the northward, is simply 
charming. Half hidden among a luxuriance of foliage 
of every shade of green, the houses seem like pleasant 
cottages and villas in an immense garden, and the 
glittering streams in every street mark with silver lines 
the length of the broad avenues, while at odd in-

tervals a church spire or the tower of some fine resi- 
dence is seen amid the trees. The Wasatch moun- 
tains, with their magnificent front, rise abruptly two 
or three miles distant to the East, their summits, 
1 1 ,000 feet above the sea, and at least 7,000 feet above 
the city, dotted with snow that never melts. Thrifty 
farms spread to the feet of these overshadowing 
peaks whose sheer and rocky walls are rifted here and 
there by rugged passes which, before the days of 
the iron horse, were the only approaches to the city 
from the Ease. Wonderful are the pictures of this 
magnificent range! It changes with every season: 
in the winter, white from snow that chokes its 
chasms with an icy drift and powders its topmost 
pines with hoary frost; in the spring, making the 
landscape joyous with its dingles of lively green ; in 
summer, capped with lazy lines of smoke from 
forest fires; and in autumn bursting into glory with 
a gay dress of brilliant red and purple heather. 
Every hour in the day, the mists and banks of cloud 
vary the setting to this glorious picture and render 
it a constant source of delight to the intellectual visitor. 
To the westward, the Oquirrh mountains are but little 
inferior in proportions, and the two ranges meet twenty 
miles to the south, shutting in the handsome and 
fertile valley of the river Jordan. The constantly 
changing atmospheric effects among these mountains 
have been thus touched by the graceful pen of Fitzhugh 
Ludlow: "Nothing on the palette of Nature is lovelier, 
more incapable of rendition by mere words, than the 
rose-pink hue of these mountains, unmodified by any 
such filterings of the reflected light through lenses of 
forest verdure as tones down and cools to a neutral 
tint the color of all our Eastern mountains. The 
Oquirrh has hues which in full daylight are as posi-

tively ruby, coral, garnet and carneiian, as the stones 
which go by those names themselves. No amount of 
positive color which an artist may put into his brush 
can ever do justice to the reality of these mountauis." 
The streets of Salt Lake Cit>^ are named in accord- 
ance with their relation to the Temple Block. Thus, 
the proper name for IVIain Street is East Temple 
Street, for it boimds the eastern side of that Block; 
the next street east is First East Street; and so on. To 
the west, north and south the streets are named hi the 
same manner. Exceptions to this rule are found in the 
irregular streets that thread among the foot hills 
nortli of the city and in the narrower streets of the 
20th Ward. Th^ population is about 22.000. 

Salt Lake City has a competent Fire Department 
and extensive Water Works, which latter have pipes 
laid along the principal streets, supplying an abun- 
dance of the purest water and affording good protection 
against fire. The city is lighted with gas by the Salt 
Lake Gas Co., whose works are near the radroad 
depot. 

The lines of the Street Railroad centre at Empor- 
ium Corner, i^^ blocks north of the Walker House. 
The cars running to the First Ward, or south eastern 
portion of the city; to the railroad depot ; to the Warm 
Spring baths; to the Twentieth Ward, or north-eastern 
portion of the city; and to the Eleventh Ward, or 
eastern portion of the city; all leave Emporium Cor- 
ner at the hour and half past. 

PLACES OF INTEREST. 

Under the above title, will be included public and 
other notable buildings and places in the city and 
vicinity that may prove of interest to tourists and 
traveling strangers. Interest centers in the build- 



TOURISTS GUIDE BOOK 



ings contained in the Temple Block, a square contain- 
ing ten acres which was set apart in the original set- 
tlement of the city for the erection of churches and 
other buildings connected with the practice of Mor- 
monism. 

THE TEMPLE. 

This edifice ranks first in interest among the public 
buildings, and will ultimately be one of the most re- 
markable structures in America. It is situated on the 
Temple Block, facing eastward, and is two and a half 
blocks north of the Walker House. The length of 
the building, east and west, is 200 feet, and its width 
100 feet. The foundations, which are of a reddish 
quartzite of great hardness and durability, are laid six- 
teen feet below the surface of the earth and are also 
sixteen feet in thickness. An examination of their 
structure from the interior will be found interesting. 
They are so built in what is termed the "reversed 
arch" method that the weight of the upper walls is 
equally distributed throughout; and any subterranean 
movement short of an actual earthquake would not ef- 
fect the solidity of the building. The walls resting on 
these foundations are 9 feet 9 inches thick, of a light 
grey granite, brought by rail from Little Cottonwood 
Canyon, eighteen miles south-east of the city, in the 
Wasatch Mountains. The corner stone of this struc- 
ture was laid April 6th 1853, and the building has now 
reached a height of 60 feet above the foundation, or 
^6 feet in all from the corner stones. At their pres- 
ent summits the walls are 6 feet 6 inches thick, but 
will be reduced to 5 feet when they have attained 
their ultimate height of 100 feet. The Temple is of 
unique but elegant design. Three towers v/ill stand 
at each end of the building, the centre ones, east and 



TO SALT LAKE CITY. 



west, rising higher than the others and to an altitude 
of 200 feet. Each contains a circular stairway, which 
winds around a column 4 feet in diameter. The build- 
ing will be ornamented with allegorical designs, the 
main courses being those of the sun, moon and earth. 
Its general exterior appearance, when finished, can be 
seen from illustrations on view in the office of Elder 
C. J. Thomas at the entrance gates ; and any interest- 
ing particulars, fuller than this sketch affords, will 
readily be imparted by that gentleman. The temple 
has already cost in construction more than $3,000,000 
and will probably require a total outlay of from ten to 
twelve million dollars to complete it. It is not de- 
signed, as many suppose, for public worship, but for 
the performance of certain ceremonies, such as bap- 
tisms, marriages, ordinations, confirmations, etc., now 
conducted in another and temporary place termed the 
Endowment House, which is situated on the north- 
west corner of the Temple Block. The architect un- 
der v/hose supervision this enormous work is going 
on is Elder Truman O. Angell, one of the Pioneers, 
and an artist who has long been identified with the 
people among whom he labors. 

THE TABERNACLE. 

In the general view of Salt Lake City, this enor- 
mous buildinor lies, a huo;e and rounded structure, the 
first and most noticeable piece of architecture that 
catches the eye. It is erected in the Temple Block, 
being directly to the westward of the Temple. In 
dimensions it is 233 by 133 feet, inside measurement, 
and it consists simply of one great roof, which rest 
upon forty-six pillars of red sandstone, and springs 
with a single stride from side to side and end to end. 
It thus forms what is, probably, the largest hall in the 



8 tourists' guide book 



world whose roof is unsupported by columns. In 
form the building is elliptical and the inside height 
from' ceiling to floor is 70 feet. The roof consists of 
ponderous lattice-work, ten feet through, heavily 
bolted together, and is a great triumph of engineering 
skill Inside, the west end is occupied b\- a rostrum 
or stand with triple rows of seats rising one above the 
other. The highest of these was intended originally 
for President Brigham Young and his two councilors; 
that immediately in front for the twelve apostles; and 
the lower one for bishops or elders. In front of these is 
the communion table whence sacrament is issued to 
the congregation every Sabbath afternoon. To the 
rear of all and immediately under the Grand Organ 
are seats for the choir which frequently numbers 1 00 
sinc^ers and is one of the finest in the countr}-. 

traversing the entire hall, with the exception of 
the west eiid, is a spacious gallery sufficiently large 
to seat S750 people. The entire seating capacity ot 
the building, including the stand and platforms, is 13.- 
Aco and at the general semi-annual conference it is 
frequently filled in every part. Including standing 
room, the building will accommodate 15,000. 1 here 
are twentv doors to the tabernacle, nearly all of them 
nine feet wide, all opening outwards, and the immense 
concrregation can be let out in one and a haU minutes. 
The ^acoustics are astonishingly perfect, the most 
minute sound multiplying and permeating the entire hall. 
The builder of this extraordinary edifice was hlder 
Henry Grow, an old-time resident of this cit}-. 

Behind the seats of the authorities is the Grand 
Orcran It is the third largest instrument in the Un- 
ited States and was, when constructed, the largest that 
had been built in America. ^Vith the exception of the 
metal pipes, which were imported, it was constructed 



TO SALT LAKE CITY. 



by Utah artificers from material obtained in this terri- 
tory. It is very complete and has a volume and tone 
to which the immense proportions of the edifice give 
full scope. 

The organ has three manuals, great and swell, 
heavily filled. The pipes number nearly three thou- 
sand, the largest being 32 feet long and 2 feet square 
on the inside. The entire structure is fifty-eight feet 
to the top of the great towers, thirty feet deep and 
thirty feet wide. Four men are required to work the 
blowers. The organ was constructed under the di- 
rection of Elder Joseph H. Ridges and represents his 
second attempt at organ building. 

SALT LAKE ASSEMBLY HALL. 

This beautiful edifice is located in the south-west 
corner of the Temple Block and was erected under 
the direction of Elder Obed Taylor, architect and 
builder. It is constructed from chips of granite, the 
fragments from the dressing of the rock that forms the 
Temple. The walls have been pointed and now 
counterfeit cut stone very successfully. The outside 
measurement of the building is 120 by 68 feet, the 
height of the square being 33 feet. The roof is or- 
namented by twenty graceful minarets, each 24 feet 
high, while the central spire rises to a total altitude of 
126 feet. The interior consists of a spacious assembh' 
room, the lofty ceiling being 40 feet above the floo 
and a broad gallery circling the hall. It will seat be- 
tween three and four thousand persons and is designed 
for winter and evening meetings when the large tab- 
ernacle is too cold or dark for purposes of assembly. 
For this purpose it is comfortable heated and lighted. 
The internal finishings are quite elaborate, the seats 
and wainscotting being neatly grained and the walls 



10 TOURISTS GUIDE BOOK 

calcimined in tints. The ceiling is embellished with 
various historical and biblical subjects in fresco ; and 
at the western end is a fine organ constructed by 
Elders Johnson and Olson. The Salt Lake Assembly 
Hall cost over $130,000, and presents the finest ap- 
pearance of any building yet completed in this city. 

THEATRE. 

This structure is on the corner of First South and 
First East streets and is a handsome rock and adobe 
building with granite finish. It is something after the 
Doric style of architecture, having fluted columns 
and massive cornices. It is 175 feet in length with a 
width of 80 feet and inside is nearly 40 feet from floor 
to ceiling. The stage is 62 feet deep by 32 feet at the 
proscenium and is fully equipped with scenery, traps 
and properties. The theatre has a parquette, dress 
circle, three upper circles and four private boxes, two 
on each side of the proscenium, and has a total seating 
capacity of 1500. The interior is tastefully decorated 
and presents, when lighted up, a fine appearance. The 
arrangement and appointments in dressing rooms, 
atalier, stage machinists' department, property and 
orchestra rooms, etc., are equal to those of any other 
theatre on the continent. The annals of the Salt Lake 
Theatre would be an interesting account and would 
treat of many famous artists who have made, alas, 
their final appearance on this sublunary stage. Artem- 
us Ward, Julia Dean Hayne, Edwin Adams, Ben De- 
Bar, Lucille Western, Nielson and others have all 
passed away : but there is a greater galaxy of stars 
that have appeared here and that may still be counted 
among living actors and actresses. Among these are 
the names of Eytinge, McCollough. Jefferson, Barrett, 
Sothern, Florence, Raymond and hundreds of others.

CITY HALL. 

This building, erected at a cost of ;^7o,0OO, is on a 
corner of First East and First South streets. It con- 
tains the Mayor's, Recorder's, Treasurer's, Assessor 
and Collector's and Watermaster's officers, a Court 
Room where the Alderman's and Justice's courts are 
held ; the chambers of the City Council and that in 
which the Territorial Legislature meets. The 
building is 60 feet square, two stories in height, sur- 
mounted with a clock tower. It is constructed of cut 
red sandstone. 

In the rear of the City Hall is the city prison. This 
also is built of cut sandstone, the blocks having an 
inch and a half bail laid between each two to prevent 
criminals from cutting through the cement. It is very 
stoutly arranged and with its brick addition cost about 
$40,000. 

CHURCHES. 

The only denomination that met in public worship 
here for many years was that of the 

CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER- 
DAY SAINTS. 

Their place of general meeting in summer is the 
Tabernacle, and in winter the Assembly Hall, both of 
which are on the Temple Block, 2)^ blocks north of 
the Walker House. On Sabbath mornings, Sunday 
schools are held in the various bishop's wards. Ser- 
vices are held every Sabbath afternoon beginning at 
2 o'clock. Meetings are also held in each of the 21 
bishop's wards of the city, on Sabbath evenings, be- 
ginning usually at 7 o'clock. John Taylor presides 
over the entire church. Strangers are always wel- 
comed at general meetings.

NOTABLE BUILDINGS & PLACES. 

Among points of interest to be found in the city, 
strangers naturally inquire for 

THE CHURCH OFFICES. 

These are to be found 2^2 blocks north and nearly a 
block east of the Walker House. They consist of two 
builduigs one story high, and are between the famous 
' Lion" and " Bee-Hive" houses, which have always 
been and are now occupied by a portion of the family 
of the late Brigham Young. In these church offices 
are kept the immense tomes and ledgers necessary for a 
systematic carrying on of the business matters of the 
Mormon church. The tithing accounts and those of the 
Perpetual Emigration and other Funds are preserved m 
the office on the east. That on the west is the pri- 
vate office of President Taylor, whose usual office hours 
are from eleven to one and three to five o'clock daily. 
During that interval, if not engaged on matters of 
greater importance, the President will receive visitors. 

BRIGHAM YOUNG'S GRAVE. 

From the church offices, turn northward — passing 
through " Eagle Gate" — and continue about 7^ of a 
block ; then turn to the east, ascending the hill — on 
the brow of which will be found, enclosed by a heavy 
stone wall, the burial ground of the Young family. 
The remains of President Young rest under a huge 
granite slab in the extreme south-east corner of the 
inner enclosure. An ornamental iron railing sur- 
mounts the slab, which was arranged according to the 
funeral directions of the deceased. The inner enclos- 
ure is laid out neatly in lawns and gravel walks. 
Brigham Young died Aug 29, 1877.

MUSEUM. 

Visitors will find this interesting institution nearly 
opposite the south gates of the Temple Block. It 
contains a remarkable collection of curiosities from all 
parts of the world, rare coins, Oriental fabrics and od- 
dities, deep sea specimicns, ancient documents, etc. 
But it is of peculiar interest to the tourist for the epi- 
tome that it embodies of the ores, minerals, gems, 
fauna, birds, reptiles and insects native to Utah. Every- 
thing has been arranged by a careful and trained hand, 
so as to present at a glance an elementary knowledge 
of the wonderfully varied resources of this territory. 
The archaeologist will find abundant material for cogita- 
tion in the huge bones of mastodons and in other pre- 
historic remains that have been collected from our 
borders, together with the Indian relics, — instruments 
both of war and peace, which are in great variety. 
The curator of the museum is Prof J. L. Barfoot, 
whose intimate knowledge of the materials under his 
care and, indeed, of everything that pertains to Utah, is 
of much benefit to the enquiring stranger. 

MASONIC LIBRARY. 

These rooms will be found one block north of the 
Walker House and across the street. In the summer 
of 1877 it was opened for the use of the general public. 
The collection is in the Masonic Hall and is open 
daily from lO o'clock a. m. to I p. m. and from 4 p. m. 
to 9 p. m. During the year of 1879 it issued 9.7CO 
books. It now contains 3.332 volumes of a general 
character and 564 volumes of a Masonic character. It 
is supported by the Masonic bodies of Salt Lake City 
and the annual subscribers. Christopher Diehl, Grand 
Librarian. 



TO SALT LAKE CITY. 1 5 



TERRITORIAL LIBRARY. 

In the office of the Territorial Auditor, one door 
east of the Deseret National bank. It contains 4000 
volumes which, though not modern, are well selected 
and of interest to the antiquary. Open every day ex- 
cept Sunday. 

WARM SPRINGS. 

About a mile and a half distant, on the northern out- 
skirts of the city, at the base of Ensign Peak, are the 
Warm Spring Baths, a sanitary institution which the 
healthfulness of our citizens happily prevents us from 
appreciating. The sulphur water flows freely at a 
temperature of 102 Fahrenheit, and is charged with 
medicinal qualities which render it invaluable as a cor- 
rective of many ailments. An analysis of these waters 
by a competent chemist has yielded the following : 

Three fluid ounces of water, on evaporation to en- 
tire dryness in a platina capsule, gave 8.25 grains of 
solid, dry saline matter. 
Carbonate of lime and magnesia . . .0.240 1.280 

Peroxide of iron 0.040 208 

Lime 0-545 2.907 

Chlorine 3454 18.412 

Soda 2.877 15-344 

Magnesia 0.370 2.073 

Sulphuric acid 0.703 3-748 

Total 8.229 43-981 

It is slightly charged with hydrosulphuric acid and 
with carbonic acid gas, and is a pleasant, saline mineral 
water, having all the valuable properties belonging to 
saline sulphur springs. The benefit that is to be de- 
rived from an internal as well as external application 



i6 tourists' guide book 

of these waters is great, for it is estimated that no 
other springs in the world are charged with so per- 
fect a proportion of the salts and gases that are neces- 
sary for the restoration of health. It is probable 
that the future will find their yield in general request 
and that their vicinity will one day be made the re- 
sort of invalids. About two miles further to the 
north, still stronger springs of the same nature called 
the Hot Springs, flow from the base of a great rock 
at a temperature that is variously given at from 1 80 to 
190 Fahrenheit. 

Street cars leave for the Warm Spring Baths every 
half hour, starting from the crossings i i/^ blocks north 
of the Walker House. The baths are kept by Mr. 
Jas. L. Townsend, an old citizen whose name is famil- 
iar to every tourist who has "been this way before."

FINE RESIDENCES, ETC 

Our city can boast some elegant residences whose 
design and finish would do credit to larger towns. 
Notably is a splendid home erected by the late 
Brigham Young, known as the Gardo house. It is 
one block east from the south-east corner of the Tem- 
ple Block. It cost over ;^8o,ooo and is of most beau- 
tiful proportions. That of Mayor Little, east of the 
City Hall, is also of great beauty and challenges ad- 
miration as a pattern of modern architecture. The 
four houses of the Walker Brothers are 2 blocks south 
of the hotel which bears their name and, although ele- 
gant in themselves, gain additional attractiveness from 
the tasty and well-wooded grounds that surround 
them. The fine house of Hon. William Jennings 
is on South Temple Street near the railroad depot, 
and that of Mr. Medhurst is on the same street five 
blocks east of Main. Numberless ocher charming 
homes, too numerous to mention, will be found on 
every street the tourist or stranger may choose to 
thread. 

The most striking business houses of the city are 
Walker Bros, mammoth store, the buildings of Zion's 
Co-operative Mercantile Institution, Eagle Emporium, 
Groesbeck Block, Deseret Bank Building, Godbe's 
Building, Jones' Bank, F. Auerbach & Bros, the 
Walker House and others.

AMUSEMENTS. 

Salt Lake Theatre. — ^This splendid temple of 
the drama is i ^ blocks north and one block east of 
the Walker House. A description of the building 
will be found on page 9. During the theatrical sea- 
son, the performances here are of legitimate merit, 
and no tourist should neglect visiting it.

a first-rate shooting gallery kept by Jacob Heusser. 
There is a reduced Creedmoor 200 yard range and a 
reduced Massachusetts ring range at which shooters 
can find almost as good sport as in the field. The new 
''Creedmore" gallery opposite the Post Office is also 
a good one.

SUBURBAN ATTRACTIONS. 

WHERE TO DRIVE. 

I. — It is a most pleasant drive to start from Main 
Street through to the north-eastern portion of the city 
and after passing along the elevated streets of the 
north bench, to descend again to South Temple Street 
at a point near the eastern limits of the city. Con- 
tinue thence due east, ascending to the eastern bench, 
and a short drive of little more than a mile brings you 
to 

Fort Dougias — This delightful fort is the princi- 
pal military post in Utah. During the last few years 
it has been entirely rebuilt, and the old log barracks 
and weatherboard quarters have been replaced by stout 
and comfortable buildings of a pink sandstone that 
forms the bluffs overlooking the camp. The officer's 
residences have been arranged in a handsome crescent 
at the head of the level parade ground, and afford a 
splendid view of the neighboring city and the whole 
broad and magnificent valley. The post is under the 
command of Colonel John E. Smith, an officer of the 
Fourteenth Infantry, a large proportion of his regi- 
ment being stationed here. Driving through the fort 
and past the military cemetery, the traveler will enjoy 
the pleasant hill and dale country beyond ; especially 
as he will speedily be brought up short at 

Wag-ener's Brewery — This fine property pos- 
sesses interest aside from the sparkling beverage 
which we will admit to be its chief attraction. It is 
one of the largest breweries in the west, is orderly and 
clean and produces beer of excellent quality. Being 
about 4 miles from the city, it offers a good turning 
point in a pleasant drive The road home can be 
varied ad mfinitum, or can be made to take in 



TO SALT LAKE CITY. 23 

Fuller's Hill — Take either the nth Ward or ist 

Ward cars, starting from Emporium corner every ^ 
hour — ask the driver to put you off for Fuller's Hill — 
all kinds of out-door games, swings, croquets, etc. in- 
cluding a Camera Obscura. The prettiest view of 
Salt Lake City can be had from Fuller's Hill and the 
gardens are well worth visiting. They can te reached 
by an easy carriage drive. 

2. — Another drive is to take the State Road for two 
and one half miles southward to Harris' old Club 
House ; turn the next corner for the east, and next 
corner for the south, driving as far as Winder's farm : 
then turn again to the east and the traveller will soon 
reach 

Cakler's Farm.— This pleasant resort is between 
four and five miles from the city. It is cool, verdant 
and delightful. There is a large lake with boats, 
swings, groves, etc. Admission 25 cents. 

The traveler can vary his return home by coming 
through the fields, avoiding the State Road and leav- 
ing; it to his west. 

3. — Still another drive is to go due north from the 
Walker House over the hill to the Warm Sulphur 
Baths, described on page 15. 

On the way, a charming view of the city and sur- 
rounding country is obtained from a commanding 
point of view. The drive may be continued, over a 
moderately interesting road, along the base of the 
Wasatch mountains, past the Hot Spring lake to the 
Hot Springs themselves, which, although more pic- 
turesque, differ in no wise from those at the baths ex- 
cept by their increased heat. They are 3^ miles 
north of the city. 



24 TOURISTS GUIDE BOOK 

WHERE TO WALK OR RIDE. 

It is. of course, very evident tliat a horseman or a 
pedestrian, — if he be a good walker, — can go to any 
of the places above mentioned. There are however, 
other interesting routes accessible to him. that the 
driver cannot well reach. 

I. — After going a block north of the Temple, on 
Main Street, strike for the hill on the right and pursue 
the wagon road that winds along the edge of City 
Creek can\-on, to the top of Ensign Peak. This is a 
rounded knoll, easily accessible, whose summit is 1200 
feet above the city. From this elevated position, a 
most magnificent range is visible. On a clear da}', 
Mount Nebo, the highest peak of the Wasatch, 90 
miles due south, can be seen. The view extends to 
almost an equal distance to the north ; westward, it 
takes in nearly all of the Great Salt Lake, with its 
islands, and aftbrds a glimpse of the Great American 
Desert. The summit of Ensign Peak is not more than 
two miles north of the city and it is of peculiar histor- 
ical interest. It is said that years before the Pioneers 
first saw this valley, it had been seen in a vision by the 
Prophet, Joseph Smith, who saw the " Standard of 
Zion" unfurled on this same luisign Peak. Hence its 
name. 

2. — A more difficult and extended mountain climb 
is to the summit of the Black Mountain, whose top 
can be seen, covered with pines, north-east of the city. 
It appears rather a hazardous attempt on horseback 
but the writer and many others have climbed these 
steeps in that manner more than once and have been 
ampl}- repaid by the extraordinar\- magnificence of the 
view. To attempt it, gain the ridge of Cit}' Creek 
Canvon on the hills above the 20th Ward Ik^nch and 



TO SALT LAKE CITY. 2$ 

a natural and easy trail almost to the summit. A little 
climb, as the top is neared, and a lovely view of en- 
ormous range bursts on the adventurer's astonished 
gaze. We shall not attempt to describe it. It takes 
in scores of miles in every direction and gives at once a 
comprehensive panorama of the region. The summit is 
about 3500 feet above and 5 miles north-east of the city. 
3. — Those who prefer a walk or ride that involves 
less climbing, will find a charming road up the canyon 
of City Creek, north of the city. Entering Eagle 
Gate, the road gains beauty at every step until it cul- 
minates at a point about 8 miles north of the city. The 
road is good for horsemen and is traveled constantly 
by wagons ; but is not suitable for pleasure driving, 
being somewhat rough. 

WHERE TO MAKE A TRIP. 

1 — Bi^ Cottonwood Canyon. — A most pleas- 
ing summer trip, which can be made in from three 
days to a week, is an excursion on horseback to the 
series of small lakes at the head of Big Cottonwood 
Canyon, in the Wasatch Mountains. The direction 
from the city is south-east and the round trip is one 
of about fifty miles. At the canyon head, in summer, 
Mr. Brighton has a hotel, affording good accommoda- 
tion, on the margin of Trout Lake. The visitor can 
here spend a few days very pleasantly, away from the 
dust and heat of the city, among swarthy pines and 
eternal snows. Short walks or rides of a few miles 
can be made in several directions to advantage, the 
most pleasing being that to Lakes Phoebe, Mary, 
Martha, and Katrina which lie linked among the high- 
est peaks. They are surrounded by scenes of sur- 
passing beauty and grandeur that call forth the high- 
est sentiments of admiration. 



26 tourists' GUIDE BOOK 

2 — Little Cottonwood. — This canyon contains 
also some fine natural scenery, but cannot boast of 
such picturesque views as its more formidable neigh- 
bor. Its summit is more easily reached, however, 
being connected by rail from this city. From Alta, 
the terminus of the road, a trail of six miles over the 
divide, leads to Brighton's above mentioned. A good 
trip for a party of horsemen is to go up one canyon 
and down the other, making a trip of about seventy- 
five miles, lasting four or five days, and taking in some 
of the best scenery our mountains afford. 

3 — Parley's Park. — A third mountain jaunt is 
up Parley's Canyon, another pass whose entrance is 
in the same direction as the others but only about 
seven miles distant. It leads to Parley's Park, about 
25 miles from here, on the eastern side of the range 
seen from the city. A good wagon or buggy road 
extends all the way, and the attraction in the Park is 
good fishing and hunting, pleasant drives and good 
fare at Kimball's Hotel. A daily stage connects this 
resort with the city. 

4 — American Fork Canyon. — Take the 7 a.m. 
Utah Southern train to American Fork, a village 34 
miles south of this pity, in Utah Valley. Fare ^1.80. 
From this point will be obtained a splendid view of 
Utah Lake, a beautiful sheet of fresh water 225 miles 
square. At the town, put yourself under the guidance 
of Robert Kepperneck, — proprietor of the "American 
Fork House," — and from him hire horses, — or any 
other conveyance, for the roads are first-class, — and 
visit the famous American Fork Canyon which has 
been justly termed the Yosemite of Utah. It is the 
wildest and most picturesque defile in northern Utah, 
and is one long series of natural wonders. "Towers, 
battlements, shattered castles and the images of mighty 



TO SALT LAKE CITY. 2/ 

sentinels," a writer says "exhibit their outhnes against 
the sky. Rocks, twisted, gnarled and distorted ; here 
a mass like the skeleton of some colossal tree which 
lightning had wrenched and burnt to fixed cinder ; 
there another, vast and overhanging, apparently crum- 
bling and threatening to fall in ruin." The most 
striking portion of the pass is included in the first 
twelve miles from the town and expedition would en- 
able the sight seer to return in time to take the home 
train which leaves American Fork City at 4.34 p.m. 

Other trips can be made in various directions, but 
we have pointed out the more interesting of the moun- 
tain scenery surrounding the city. 

GREAT SALT LAKE. 

Probably the most interesting feature of this entire 
region, certainly the most famous, is the Great Salt 
Lake itself, which is, at its nearest point, about nine 
miles distant from the city, but, owing to the marshy 
character of its shores it is not easily accessible at this 
point. The easiest methods of communication are 
either by the Utah Western Railway, or the Utah 
Central, the former running westward to Lake Point, 
Garfield and Black Rock, the latter northerly to Lake 
Shore. Bathing in the Great Salt Lake is a most novel 
and pleasing experience. It is impossible to sink, the 
water is so dense and bouyant. The constant ten- 
dency, however, is for the head to go under, while the 
feet remain at the surface. But, with very little prac- 
tice, men, women and children grow accustomed to its 
peculiarities, and during* the warm summer months, 
resort to it in great numbers daily, and find in its 
waters a great source of exhilaration and refreshment. 
The surroundings of the lake on its southern extremity 
are picturesque ; but at other points the shores are a 



28 tourists' guide book 



picture of utter desolation. No vegetation can survive 
where its spray is dashed save a miserable little salt 
wort and a melancholy species of artemisia, whose 
straggling and thorny limbs appear black and burned 
on the scorching sands. 

Fisliiiig and Hunting.— The canyon stream 
that surround the city are always, in season, well 
stocked with trout, and are annually the resort of pro- 
fessional and amateur anglers. It is useless to partic- 
ularize, for City Creek, Parley's, Mill Creek, big and 
Little Cottonwood, American Fork and Provo Canyons 
all have their quota of the finny tribe. 

Those nimrods who are contented with small game 
will find their quarry on the plains over Jordan River, 
in the fall of the year. Hares and jack rabbits are 
there in abundance. In the oak brush around the 
neighboring foot hills are prairie chickens; and higher 
in the mountains are pine hens. Larger game, such 
as deer, is rare, although in early winter they are fre- 
quently seen in goodly numbers in the mountains. 
Bears actually infest the mountains in the north-eastern 
and some other portions of the territory.

The predominating creed of the people ofSalt Lake City 
and Utah is generally known to be the 

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. 

And as tourists and travelers find in this fact a point 
of great interest, we venture to give the salient articles 
from the doctrines of that church and the nature of its or- 
ganization. The church was organized, with six members, 
April 6th, 1830, in Fayette, Seneca Co., N. Y., by Joseph 
Smith, who published, as the doctrines believed and 
adopted by the church, the following thirteen 

Articles of Faith. 

I. — We believe in God, the Eternal Father, and in His 
Son, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Ghost. 

2 — We believe that men will be punished for their own 
sins, and not for Adam's transgression. 

3 — We believe that through the atonement of Christ, 
all mankind may be saved, by obedience to the laws and 
ordinances of the Gospel. 

4. — We believe that these ordinances are : First, Faith 
in the Lord Jesus Christ; second, Repentance ; third, 
Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins ; fourth. 
Laying on of hands for the Gift of the Holy Ghost. 

5. — We believe that a man must be called of God, by 
"prophecy, and by the laying on of hands," by those who 



32 TOURISTS GUIDE BOOK 

are in authority, to preach the Gospel and administer in 
the ordinances thereof. 

6. — We believe in the same organization that existed in 
the primitive church, viz : apostles, prophets, pastors, 
teachers, evangelists, etc. 

7. — We believe in the gift of tongues, prophec}^ revela- 
tion, visions, healing, interpretation of tongues, etc. 

8. — We believe the Bible to be the word of God, as far 
as it is translated correctly ; we also believe the Book of 
Mormon to be the word of God. 

9. — We believe all that God has revealed, all that He 
does now reveal, and we believe that he will yet reveal 
many great and important things pertaining to the King- 
dom of God. 

10. — We believe in the literal gathering of Israel and in 
the restoration of the Ten Tribes. That Zion will be built 
upon this continent. That Christ will reign personally 
upon the earth, and that the earth will be renewed and re- 
ceive its paradisic glory. 

II. — We claim the privilege of worshipping Almighty 
God according to the dictates of our conscience, and al- 
low all men the same privilege, let them worship how, 
where or what they may. 

12. — We believe in being subject to kings, presidents, 
rulers and magistrates, in obeying, honoring and sustain- 
ing the law. 

13. — We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevo- 
lent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men ; indeed we 
may say that we follow the admonition of Paul. "We be- 
lieve all things, we hope all things," we have endured 
many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If 
there is anything virtuous, lovely or of good report or 
praiseworthy, we seek after these things. — Joseph Smith.
